Multiple Intelligence - How do you learn?

One of my assignments was to read something called, Multiple Intelligence: How Do You Learn? and it was pretty interesting. In the beginning, it talks about how some people are visual learners. They rely off of images such as; movies, art, graphs and charts. (etc.) They seem to think these individuals would fare well in careers like: mechanics, inventors visual artists and many more.
Next, they talk about people who are verbal learners. Which means their skills are in listening and use words unlike visual learners. A good career for these individuals would be: teacher, writer, lawyer and maybe a government job. Using logic is another learning ability. Their able to learn text with the use of numbers and reasoning skills. Good career fields would be in computers, researching and science. Bodily is the ability to perform a job with body movements. Being a dancer, actor or firefighter usually fall into that category for jobs. Musical inclined people usually excel in singing, composing and music. Also, there is something called interpersonal. This is a skill that deals with relations to others. These people can understand others emotionally more than others. Possible careers choices would be sales, counselor and business.
Finally, theres intrapersonal. These people usually try to get a grip of were your coming from when it comes to life, relations, strengths and weaknesses. Careers to follow might be: a philosopher and/or researcher.
This article has much more to offer. It explains in detail some of the skills that these people have and describe more jobs that they would do well in. Ive learned that I have a visual, logical, and interpersonal intelligence.
This is a very helpeful article. However, there is no evidence that this article's information will work for everyone. It just simply guides you into different career directions. So does any of this apply to you? Just read it and you'll see!
